Chapter 69 Falls into My Hands
"Sheng Shen, try to win it back one more time."
Jiang Ci took the note from Shen Xi, which contained a string of numbers that Su Su had asked Shen Xi to leave.
She said she wanted to hear Sheng Shen's own explanation.
A glint flashed in Sheng Shen's eyes for a moment. His hand trembled slightly as he took the paper, his eyes moistening.
"It's good that she's still alive, really."
He hadn't been this happy in a long time. So what if Su Su was gone? She's still alive and kicking, isn't she?
He can also go see her.
Jiang Ci sat lazily on the sofa, watching Sheng Shen looking rather disheveled, tears streaming down his face, holding the blank sheet of paper as if he had obtained some rare treasure.
He tilted his head slightly, his slightly warm body pressed against Shen Xi's arm, slowly moving closer, and whispered in her ear, his tone tinged with grievance.
"Sheng Shen deserves it."
Shen Xi felt a warm sensation all over her body from the heat flowing past her ear. She awkwardly touched her ear, subtly took a step back, and asked,
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hmph, after you abandoned me, Sheng Shen came to my house with Sheng Xia as a guest, and he actually came to laugh at me, laughing at me for not being able to keep my wife."
Tsk, now I wonder who can't keep their wife.
Now look what's happened; not only has his wife run away, but he doesn't even know he has a child.
Jiang Ci seizes every opportunity to act cute and puts on a spectacular performance.
Similarly, whenever there was a moment that could soften Shen Xi's heart, he would act like a child begging for candy.
Shen Xi sometimes felt that Jiang Ci was perfect as a girlfriend. He would whine and cry whenever he was unhappy, and although his words could be hurtful at times, they could also be quite sweet. He had a bit of a tsundere vibe. She remembered the nickname she had for him on her phone—"Whine Monster."
Shen Xi casually moved her phone further away.
"Go and laugh at him now, and you'll be even."
Shen Xi watched as Sheng Shen trembled as he opened his phone to enter a number, then turned to urge Jiang Ci on.
His eyes still held amusement, as if he were enjoying the spectacle.
Jiang Ci rubbed against her without saying a word.
Forget it, what if Sheng Shen reconciles with Su Su in the future and then speaks ill of him?
Jiang Ci blinked; he was still thinking long-term.
“Sheng Shen, Su Su is not a girl who needs to grow up under your wing. You should treat each other as equals, otherwise this relationship will remain unresolved.”
Shen Xi suddenly spoke, interrupting Sheng Shen, who was mustering the courage to make the call.
Her words hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out the problem in their relationship.
Sheng Shen thought too much of Su Su; in his mind, Su Su was a delicate girl who always needed to be cherished.
Such a relationship won't last.
For a couple to stay together in the end, it's not just about love; they also face the mundane realities of life. Therefore, mutual trust, tolerance, understanding, and equality are essential.
Sheng Shen should talk to Su Su about his situation instead of just protecting her.
Sheng Shen sat on the sofa with his head down in silence for a long time. His eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned as he thanked Shen Xi with a smile.
"Thank you for reminding me, I'll remember that."
Shen Xi waved her hand sheepishly, "I just mentioned it casually, you can just listen to it."
Although Su Su is her good friend, she can only offer appropriate reminders, not interfere excessively.
One should not lose the sense of propriety that a person should have.
Sheng Shen left, leaving behind a blank check with his signature before he left as a token of his gratitude, which Shen Xi could fill out as she pleased.
Shen Xi has become a rich woman again!
Jiang Ci glanced sideways at the somewhat offensive check, his tone sour. He took a sip of tea, feeling a sour taste in his mouth.
“Xixi has always been well-liked, unlike me.”
Shen Xi was happily holding the check and had no desire to listen to his cryptic remarks.
"Jiang Ci, how much do you charge for one night?"
Shen Xi held the check in her hand and swung it triumphantly in front of him, making a rustling sound. She looked at him defiantly.
Jiang Ci was stunned upon hearing this, and he spoke in disbelief.
"You want to sleep with me?"
Shen Xi thought, what's wrong with her just wanting to show off her money and casually making a sarcastic remark?!
She's a poor wretch; she finally has some money, so what!
Even if you lose the game, don't lose your spirit.
Shen Xi resolutely refused to back down, "Yes, are you very expensive?"
Jiang Ci lowered his crossed legs, his posture no longer languid. He looked directly into her eyes, his gaze seemingly sparkling with energy.
"I'm open to prostitution, but I'm used to being very generous in business. I usually offer one night free after the first one, no returns allowed."
Jiang Ci's words were astonishing, leaving Shen Xi completely stunned.
Shen Xi was speechless and dared not speak. Damn it, she really was just saying it! In her limited memory, she was still a virgin!
I've been single for over twenty years and haven't even held hands with any guy.
She's only suited to be a strategist, not a battlefield hero!
Shen Xi wanted to change the subject, "Well..."
"Okay, I think your suggestion is excellent. If nothing unexpected happens, we can try it tonight."
"Do not……"
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"I do not……"
"Jiang Du is still practicing calligraphy upstairs. I'm going to check on him. I'll wait for Boss Shen to come and keep me company tonight."
After saying all that, Jiang Ci immediately stood up gracefully and walked upstairs.
Shen Xi was left downstairs, disheveled and exposed to the wind.
Damn it!
Don't go, please let me say one more thing!
Listen to my excuses!
Downstairs, Butler Li quietly withdrew his gaze, a faint smile on his old face, and hummed a little tune as he went out to plant flowers again.
The young maid in the flowerbed asked with some confusion, "Uncle Li, is there any good news lately?"
Butler Li glanced around the hall with an incredibly keen sense of stealth, and stroked a non-existent beard.
"I finally saw the young master smile."
"..."
The maid stood in the sunlight, looking disgusted.
"Uncle Li, you should read fewer novels when you have nothing to do."
"Go away, what do you know? This is love."
Butler Li gave him a look that said, "You don't understand love."
……
"Hey, what did you say? Why do you want that kind of thing?! Ancestor, has someone been corrupting you lately?"
Zhou Li was incredulous when he received the call.
In his lifetime, he actually heard Jiang Ci asking for a short video. Didn't his wife run away? What does he need this for?
Jiang Ci sat upright in the study, his voice extremely low.
"Yes or no? If no, hang up."
"You actually have doubts about my noble character? Then let me tell you something serious..."
Zhou Li spoke in a furtive tone.
"You know what, I actually do have one."
Jiang Ci said, "Don't tell anyone."
He hung up the phone immediately.
He sat in his chair, watching the clouds drift by outside the window, and couldn't help but smile.
"Sister, you've finally fallen into my hands."
